Abstract

Transverse frame members (14, 16) extend across and are connected to longitudinal frame members (10, 12). Frame member (14) divides longitudinal frame members (10, 12) into major and minor parts (20, 22, 24, 26). The minor parts (24, 26) are braced by gussets (70, 72) which extend between the minor parts (24, 26) and a vertical web portion (68) of the transverse beam (14). The minor parts (24, 26) of the frame members (10, 12) and the central portion of the frame member (14) form a nook (76) in the cylinder components (80, 82, 84, 102, 104) are received.
Piston rod portions (92, 94, 96) of the assembly of linear motors extend from the cylinder component portions to guide bearings (100) mounted in openings (56, 58, 60) formed in the vertical web (54) of the second transverse beam (16). Bolts are used to connect the inner corner portions of the assembly of linear hydraulic motors to mounting pads (34, 36). More bolts are used to connect the outer corner portion of the cylinder components to mounting lugs (38, 40).
